What you can expect

The Experience: An Unforgettable Sunset in the Blue of Taormina
Leave the hustle and bustle of the beaches behind and get ready to experience the most magical hour of the day on board our boat. This tour is designed for those looking for a perfect mix of wild nature, exclusive relaxation, and the natural show of the Sicilian sunset.

We will depart when the light becomes warm and the shadows stretch along the coast, heading out to the open sea. This is the time of day when dolphins (bottlenose and striped dolphins) like to come close to the surface to play and hunt. Thanks to our skipper's intimate knowledge of the area, we will sail through the most popular sighting areas, giving you the thrill of seeing these beautiful mammals swimming freely in their habitat.

The Pearls of the Coast in a New Light
As the sky turns orange, pink, and purple, we will sail past the symbols of our land, admiring them from a privileged perspective:

We will pass right under the imposing cliffs of the San Domenico Palace (the famous hotel from “The White Lotus”), enjoying a breathtaking view of upper Taormina.

Isola Bella Nature Reserve: We will admire the “Pearl of the Mediterranean” when the tourists leave and the bay regains its ancestral peace. If the conditions allow it, we'll stop for a refreshing swim in its turquoise waters.

Grotta Azzurra and Grotta degli Innamorati: We will visit these sea caves where the reflections of the sunset create unique plays of light on the rock walls.
A toast between the sea and Mount Etna
The highlight of the tour will be our Aperitif at Sunset. As the boat gently rocks and the sun disappears behind the majestic profile of Mount Etna, we will serve a carefully prepared refreshment on board:

Iced sparkling wine or local white wine from the vineyards of Mount Etna.

Typical Sicilian snacks and fresh seasonal fruit.

A selection of lounge music that will make the atmosphere even more intimate and special.

Why Choose Us?
We avoid crowded tours. Our boat offers ample space, comfortable cushions, and a relaxed ambience to enjoy every moment in total privacy or with a few friends.

We respect the dolphins. We approach them carefully, turning off the engines or sailing at minimum speed to observe them without disturbing them.

Taormina at sunset seen from the sea is one of the most beautiful shows in Italy. Seeing the Greek Theatre and Mount Etna turn red is an emotion that no photo can fully capture
